...Full of awesome videogames. The SNES's Contra III: The Alien Wars is the hardest motherfucking game ever. Contra followed every traditional method used to make badass games in the 90's: It was a sidescroller, where 2 badasses run around shooting mutants, aliens, and mutant aliens. And robots. The twist? ANY attack that hits you will kill you, making you lose lives very quickly. Which you will do frequently. It's the complete opposite of today's games, which are designed to be beaten. Not Contra: It's designed to beat you. A lot. And it will make you want to punch a small kitten. But it is one of the greatest co-op experiences of any game I've played. Even though it took like an hour and a half to get enough skill to beat the first 3 levels, my brother and I enjoyed the abuse this game threw at us.

Now, I mention this cuz I found something truely badass: There's this site called zbattle.net. It's a client that can find people playing the SNES emulator ZSNES online, to hook them into an online game. So if you guys wanna play Contra or Street Fighter Alpha 2, lemme know so we can Co-Op or something!

Screw AIM. my online thing has guns and Hadoukens :p

And now for something completely different:
